About Memory Cafés:
- Memory Cafés are community-based gatherings that provide safe, inclusive environments for people experiencing dementia or other cognitive changes, along with their care partners. 
- Through storytelling, music, movement, visual art, and more, these spaces foster joy, reduce stigma, and help people feel seen and supported.
- They do not require a medical diagnosis to attend.

What to Expect:
